Thanks, I guess Cheesy  Nice vanity addy. 


 Yeah, I wanted to do 1Realist... but the difficulty was too high so it would have taken a day to render and would not have made for a timely reply to your post Wink

Great business move for asicminer shareholders probably, but I have a feeling a large % of the people buying these types of investments will end up as bagholders.  I'm curious to see how this will play out.

That of course depends on the difficulty increases, right now it's not bad for the 'bagholders' Smiley

If potential ROI is not taken off the table by difficulty increases (see: every mining stock to date), something else will come along to impoverish teh intrepid investors (see: every Havelock offering, 95% of Bitcoin-denominated securities).

 You're probably right so I made a special Bitcoin address just for you. Wink

I don't think he's screwing AM at all.  It looks like he's just stating the facts as he knows them.  He's saying that the BE200 is going to be worthless soon, and AMHash is the fastest way to sell the chips they're sitting on before that happens.

It's Rockminer's job to sell the AMHash contracts on Havelock. Do you see AMHash selling any AMHash contracts on Havelock? I don't and I haven't seen any for the past two weeks. New contracts have been available to purchase for less time than they've been unavailable. If you paid me to sell mining contracts and I just gave some half-arsed attempt at the beginning and then just completely stopped trying, would you feel that I'd ripped you off? Unless Rockminer is working for free (and ripping off its own shareholders) then it's getting paid by AM to sell contracts that it clearly isn't even trying to sell.

Now this could all be based on obsolete information, in which case they're all still incompetent for not informing us.

The entire system of automated buyback and giving away free hashrate for people willing to purchase more screams of upward price manipulation so that they can get the most $ the fastest from their customers.  Only short term traders will be able to make $ or Bitcoins.  Maybe in the future they will offer a AMHash1->AMHash2 upgrade opportunity that won't make it so bad for purchasers.  I would think they would have to instead of just shutting down AMHash1 with a total loss for purchasers when the miners become unprofitable.  Time will tell.  I'm curious to see how this will play out.

I don't know what you're talking about when you say AM are giving away free hash rate. Also, AMHash2 has been and gone. We're waiting for AMHash3 to show up. With regards to the termination of contracts, we have the following info:

If the calculated payout after fee substraction is less than or equal to zero, the contract will be suspended. If the number of subsequent days suspended reaches 10, the contract terminates.

So no, there won't be any upgrades and rightly so. Why would they get an upgrade? If your Prisma actually worked properly, would you have expected AM to give you a free gen 4 or gen 5 miner when the Prisma became unprofitable?

For AM shareholders:
1 AM has lots of BE200s in stock,if we can't convert them to devices asap in their life time,these chips will be nothing,then it will be a big loss.Obviously,In the present case AMHash is the best choice for AM to sell large quantities chips and devices.

2 Cloud Mining is trend for bitcoin mining in future. If AMHash1 is successful, BE300 also can be benefit from this project.

3 Only if AM make profits,dividends is possible.

Now, by all appearances, he's not even trying to sell AMHash contracts, so by his own words he's deliberately screwing over AM.

Edited down to my opinion.

With all the announcements of far superior miners coming in 2015, I think AM is selling everything they can now before the difficulty goes exponential again.  Don't make the mistake of thinking we're going to see any sort of long term difficulty stabilization.  We won't.

AM will be getting their gen 4 28nm samples back in about two weeks so it makes even more sense for them to shift as much gen 3 hashing power as quickly as possible.

This situation is just bizarre. Especially when you consider quotes like this from Rockxie:

I was thinking that selling lots of AMHash as opposed to self-mining is especially in AM's interest if the difficulty is going up (and ROI is impossible for AMHASH customers).   If difficulty is stable or going down - it's more in AM's interest to self-mine rather than sell cloudhashing, i.e. letting AMHASH customers get the profit.    It was always going to be some split between the two, but since the difficulty stopped going up exponentially, it would seem to me that self-mining is more profitable for AM  than selling the hashrate.

well lets hope it all works out for the best and that we can trust them. Maybe like other people say they not popular enough to sell hash on their own  Huh

That's a pretty strange notion considering that ASICminer is the oldest and one of the most well known ASIC manufacturers.

The fact is, AMHash is simply not even trying to sell hashing power otherwise the contracts would be permanently available to purchase, they would advertise and they would promote it in the "Services" sub-forum like all the other cloud mining services instead of the "Securities" sub-forum.

There are only four scenarios which make any sense to me.

1) The mine burnt down.
2) AM decided they'd rather self-mine than sell the hashing power, contrary to everything they've been telling us.
3) Rockminer is incompetent when it comes to sales (and support given the lack of responses and updates).
4) Rockminer is deliberately ripping off AM (which would be weird given that Rockxie has over 5000 shares).

Quote from: hashie

Havelock isn't really built to handle cloud mining contracts. Rest assured that AMHash on Hashie is 100% as safe as purchasing it from another platform - AMHash maintains a registry of Hashie AMHash miners: https://amhash.com/hashie/index.php

-Sahra

havelock gives you the ability to quickly/safely unload your shares at a moment's notice, it has the market depth and liquidity to support large sell orders, it is also a proven platform that is trusted/secure (relatively speaking compared to the others).  Hashie on the other hand has none of those item, maybe in time it will.  But as of now, i would definitely pay a premium and have my shares on havelock than to keep them at hashie.  No offense.

Well they were not selling it well on there own so it makes sense.

Yeah it makes sense to outsource sales to an anonymous third party that is almost certainly running a ponzi scheme.
Brilliant idea. Maybe they should hire John Carley to handle PR and let Trendon shavers do the accounting.
